Best Lunch Restaurants in Ocean Isle Beach

Great food, awesome staff! Never a bad experience. Slightly pricey but expected with a restaurant this good.

We had heard great things about Lucca and decided to try it. It's a nondescript restaurant in a small strip mall - so easy to miss unless you know what to look for. The hostess was very accommodating since our reservation had shrunk by a few people. Sat us right away - 15 minutes before our reservation. Menu selection was out of this world - it was difficult to choose. Sam was very knowledgable regarding the specials and other menu items (there are quite a few). It was a difficult choice between the seabass and the filet. My son and I both went for the filet with a Lucca crabcake. Filet cooked to perfection! Crab cake with the roulade sauce was chocked full of crab meat with very little breading. Even though steamed spinach wasn't on the menu the kitchen made it for me anyway. The price point for the filet special was very reasonable. We will definitely be going back.

Great experience! The food was great and the staff were very friendly!
